Maison des Esclaves Human Trafficking And Slavery Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum Launches First Educational Outreach Program


Located in one of the last slave trading post in Senegal, Maison des Esclaves (Slave House) reminds the world of human trafficking, racism and slavery through the greatest displacement of people in human history, and the need to preserve human liberties in order to move towards a universally egalitarian civilization. Maison des Esclaves welcomes individual visitors in search of identity or self-reconciliation, and provides school groups with a crucial complement to the curriculum in schools severely limited by lack of funds.
